It would take longer to explain how to do it or submit the original mail
again.  ;-)

[PATCH] three patches from Fedora to current pppd

hi,

We're working on some updates to Radius plugin, and I think it could
be useful to incorporate three outstanding patches from Fedora:

commit 4cb4db1ea790357444fd63b68f28e66eed6f8a86
Author: David Woodhouse <dwmw2 <at> redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 17:11:28 2009 +0300

    Implement ipv6cp-accept-remote, and document ipv6cp-accept-*

    (Taken from Fedora ppp-2.4.3-ipv6-accept-remote.patch)

commit 0a1b2cf863ac90559e1656c947ffae736fd9f61e
Author: Thomas Woerner <twoerner <at> redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 17:05:07 2009 +0300

    Fix compilation warnings and unused headers

    (taken from ppp-2.4.3-fix.patch in Fedora RPM)

commit ca8da3bf33f5bce8e1719aca77e69779eb19c97e
Author: Alexey Mahotkin <squadette <at> gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 16:57:07 2009 +0300

    Remove unused code

    Fedora even patches this code in ppp-2.4.1-varargs.patch, even
though it is not used

several problems on ppp.samba.org

hi,

0.  Ermmm, where exactly is the current ppp repository?

http://ppp.samba.org/ppp/download.html says git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/ppp.git

http://marc.info/?l=linux-ppp&m=123571850627105&w=2 David Miller
seems to apply patches somewhere else.   Where? :)

1. http://ppp.samba.org/ppp/features.html looks funny.  better to
remove it altogether.

2. http://ppp.samba.org/images/ppp.gif gives 404 Not Found.

3. http://ppp.samba.org/ppp/documentation.html link to PPP HOWTO
should probably be removed. :(

Thank you,

that's net-netx-2.6.git or net-2.6.git for the kernel part of the code.

Re: [PATCH] three patches from Fedora to current pppd

Four more patches, three of them documentation only:

commit cba658eac20fd0752aff4fdc260680ce35addd29
Author: Alexey Mahotkin <squadette <at> gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 18:31:37 2009 +0300

    Configuration hints (taken from Debian patch pppoe_readme)

commit f92d3e7ad903e45d103b9a2c9d2d2097b928ff27
Author: Martin Lottermoser <Martin.Lottermoser <at> t-online.de>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 18:30:18 2009 +0300

    Subject: Bug#308136: Debian bug 308136 (SEGV in pppd)

    The function update_db_entry() may only be called if pppdb is not NULL;
    unfortunately in this situation it is. Other calls to update_db_entry()
    are protected against this, see, e.g., the end of script_setenv().

commit e007f97c2d298302d7ab02ce17edd1dfdd623b64
Author: Alexey Mahotkin <squadette <at> gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 18:10:43 2009 +0300

    Debian patch zzz_man_typos to fix some typos in man pages. By A. Costa.
    (Closes Debian bugs: #301928, #302674)

commit 8024d289266bc1a9f4b911bae6a7cb2d1563a0ca
Author: Alexey Mahotkin <squadette <at> gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 25 17:50:14 2009 +0300
